Way to fast select text in web page in chrome

Question

Anyone knows of a way to select all text in a section of a web page (it woud be a DIV in html) without having to select from top to bottom with the mouse? The intent is to click at beginning of the text in the main part of the page (no, adds, no menus, etc) to select and send to TTS app There are ways to do this editing html code, but I am looking for quick select-to-tts (or could be sent to any other app/extension) Thanks

Solution

Using Windows 10 Pro version 1903 OS Build 18362.xxx Chrome Version 75.0.3770.80

1. Ctrl-A = Select All (entire webpage)
2. Ctrl-Shift-End = Select to end from any selected starting point on page
3. Ctrl-Shift-Home = Select all from selected starting point to top

Have you tried tripple clicking by chance?

Thanks, but triple click selects only the current paragraph not all paragraphs in the section

It would be great if I could ctrl click a word instead of double clicking it to select it. Also when I hold down ctrl, I want to select a number of whole words.

Ctrl-A also works on Windows 8.1 Professional.
